Chunky Blanket Making

Sunday June 21st

Register using the links below. after you click BOOK click the date (June 21st) and the time (12pm) Join us for a fun afternoon making cozy blankets with great drinks and food! Chunky knit workshops are perfect for beginners or experienced knitters! We will be making blankets with just our hands. Everyone leaves with a cozy new blanket in a blanket bag and a new skill. After the workshop you also get emailed instructions and yarn buying tips for future projects. We make lap blankets that often end up full body blankets. I encourage you to choose what style you want, looser or tighter knit so blanket sizes vary. The very tightest knitting would create a blanket about 45x42 , most end up much larger This is a pre register event - there are limited seats available and they are first come first served. There are 2 pricing options. $65 - anyone who registers for this option will choose from the yarn colors I bring to the workshop $85 - anyone who registers for this option will preselect their colors. This will be a premium yarn which is a bit softer and thicker. It tends to hide imperfections a bit better and there are a ton of color options. When you register for this option, you get an email approximately 4 weeks before the workshop to choose your colors. You will be able to choose 1 or 2 colors at that time. You can see the current colors available at the link below. https://downtime-with-dawn.square.site/gallery $85 option registration link - Closes 4 weeks before workshop if not sold out https://downtimewithdawn.setmore.com/.../32b4e82a-c5e6... $65 registration link - Closes 2 weeks before the workshop if not sold out https://downtimewithdawn.setmore.com/.../bb211c0d-8137... 16 spots available - Ages 12 and up to work on a blanket alone Do you want to have a fun night with your friends at a Getting Loopy With Dawn workshop... but you aren't sure about the knitting part? While I stand by the fact that even the non crafty can make beautiful blankets - I can also admit it may not be for everyone. But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the fun! After registering for a workshop - for a small fee of $35 your blanket will be completed and ready for you at the workshop! Settle in nice and cozy for a fun night without the pressure! ***Please purchase at least 2 weeks before your scheduled workshop. For any last minute changes (illness, injury, no longer able to attend, etc. Please contact me at downtimewithdawn@gmail.com as soon as possible. If I have the time I can accommodate. ***This is an ADD ON to a workshop registration. You must register for a workshop to purchase this package.
